Mine are now 20 and 18. It's nice to be able to relax and read, but I do kind of miss having little ones around.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-87139911307325226942008-07-08T23:55:00.000-04:002008-07-08T23:55:00.000-04:00What a wonderful vacation!

With small kids it's unlikely and the fact that I'm nowhere near a beach doesn't help either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-69649292174007967832008-07-03T07:54:00.000-04:002008-07-03T07:54:00.000-04:00gentle reader, you're right.

But of course, reading is so perfect for the beach. Maybe because it's easier to get the sand out of a book than, say, a laptop computer! Imagining all those people on the beach reading made me smile--thanks!Gentle Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09102364083044797155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-70197578163297264642008-07-01T07:54:00.000-04:002008-07-01T07:54:00.000-04:00ravenous reader, I feel the same way.

But, I'm ready to go somewhere else. I've never been out of the country! I would absolutely love to go to Scotland. <BR/><BR/>jill, thanks. No surprise -- I'm absolutely loving Water for Elephants. After getting started, I can't put it down. On a rare occasion last night, I was home alone and read on the front porch for over 2 hours! It was heavenly.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-28058412839606358172008-06-30T18:09:00.000-04:002008-06-30T18:09:00.000-04:00Welcome back from vacation!I loved Water for Eleph...Welcome back from vacation!<BR/><BR/>I loved Water for Elephants - hope you do too!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563369624457858904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7425401134381509448.post-17400136364198514942008-06-30T17:52:00.000-04:002008-06-30T17:52:00.000-04:00Sounds like a wonderful time!
